So you are saying public opinion of the Vietnam conflict had nothing to do with our troops ultimately being removed?

My assertion was and still is that public opinion had a tremendous amount to do with our withdrawal from Vietnam. I liken Iraq to that scenario as I believe public opinion on this war is and has been changing since its inception. Questioning our commander in chiefs decisions as well as those commanders responsible for carrying out the commander in chief directives is an action the public can take to express their opinion. Therefore I do not think questioning is a bad thing.
